Church built between the 12th and 13th centuries, worth a visit to admire its impressive vaults and strong personality

Notre-Dame Church is a treasure trove of history. Built between the 12th and 13th centuries, it was modified in the 15th and restored in the 19th. Imposing and austere, its architecture bears witness to a time when it had a defensive function, particularly during the Hundred Years' War. Inside, the octagonal dome under the bell tower and the magnificent ribbed windows make you forget the centuries that have marked it. Listed as a Monument Historique since 1910, the church is well worth a visit to admire its impressive vaults and strong personality.

Церковь в центре небольшого городка, красивая, ухоженная.

Ouverte et accueillante, située en plein cœur du village, cette église austère et massive en impose. A l'intérieur, les élévations des travées couvertes en croisées d'ogives sont superbes, la nef unique se prolonge à l'Est vers un chevet plat. La travée sous clocher mérite que l'on s'attarde, elle est couverte d'une coupole d'ogives à 8 voûtains, descendant sur 4 pendentifs, également à ogives et nervures. Classée depuis 1910, construite au 12è et 13è, modifiée au 15è, elle fut restaurée au 19è. Au vue de son allure générale, le visiteur n'est pas surpris d'apprendre qu'elle eut une fonction défensive, elle fut fortifiée au moment de la guerre de cent ans ou/et des guerres de religions.
